Braving the elements, thick-skinned participants at the Bettmeralp Waterslide Competition slip on wetsuits or fancy dress costumes, get onto their skis and snowboards and attempt to be the one who glides across an icy pool without falling in..
Each round gets tougher as the take-off is made shorter and contestants are eliminated for taking a topple, bringing a whole new meaning to the word "waterskiing"...
